Ricky, Miranda, Melanie, and Sasha dance Contemporary, choreographed by Stacey Tookey.
Chris, Tadd, Wadi, and Robert dance Hip Hop, choreographed by Dave Scott.
Iveta dances Ballroom with All Star Pasha Kovalev, choreographed by Jason Gilkinson.
Jordan, Missy, Clarice, and Marko dance Jazz, choreographed by Sonya Tayeh.
Nick and Jess dance Broadway/Tap, choreographed by Christopher Scott.

Now the cool thing about this season is that we're going back to a full Top 20 and the dancers will pair off to dance until we're down to our Top 10. Then the All Stars will return.
Seriously, if you haven't watched this show before and are looking for some outstanding summer entertainment, check these kids out.
